What forms tissue?
Cells and extracellular fluid
What are the four types of tissue?
Epithelial, muscle, nervous and connective
Where is epithelial tissue found?
Covering exposed surfaces, lining internal passageways and forming secretory glands
What are the functions of epithelial tissue?
Providing protection and sensation, controlling permeability, producing specialised secretions
What is an example of epithelial tissue?
Glands and epithelia
What are glands?
A collection of cells which secrete things
What are the two types of glands?
Endocrine and Exocrine
Exocrine glands secrete things…
through a duct
Endocrine glands secrete things…
into the blood
Where is connective tissue found?
Filling internal spaces, providing structural support and storing energy
What are the three types of connective tissue?
Proper, fluid and supporting
What are the functions of connective tissue?
Structure, transporting fluids and dissolved materials, protection, support surround and connect other tissue types, store energy, defend body from microorganisms
What are examples of connective tissue?
collagen fibres and elastic fibres
What do collagen fibres do?
Resist pull
What do elastic fibres do?
Stretch (don’t resist pull)
What is the function of muscle tissue?
Contracting to produce movement
What are the 3 types of muscle tissue?
